One last thing - to whomever made the statement  - could we refrain from
referring to ANYTHING as someone's "weird religious cult?"  That is a very
biased thing to say.  To some, perhaps the holy communion ritual in
Christianity is a weird religious practice (drinking something and
pretending its blood, eating something and pretending its a body...) And as
far as slaughtering animals for religious purposes - is that more or less
strange than slaughtering them for food?  I'm sure everybody has an opinion
on that...

This conversation has gone far south....

The health perspective is all that counts in this instance - if it
represents a health danger, get rid of it, that's all.  It is not for us to
say whether the religious practice that caused it to be there is "weird" or
not.  Really, folks...
